Retired - Living the dream
Not heard from him for a while so his motor must be more reliable these days.
I do pass his work often and see it there so presume he's alive.
Unless its just parked up there and hadnt moved.
Next time I pass i'll have a look inside in case hes trapped

ill try traxs suggestion and if it turns out to be that, probably just replace all the fuel lines (its easier!)

Remember you can take off the pipes at the IP / lift pump also and blow them back from there.
If they are nylon I can't see that the actual lines will be an issue.
Also, isn't there an access hatch under the boot floor? If so no need to drop the tank, or even drain. Just stick your hand in there.
Boost pressure vs flow -
If the gauge is in the manifold, then I can't understand the pressure vs flow debate. There would be no restriction between the manifold and the head, so a restriction before the turbo would have to reduce the pressure.
I think its fuel.
Remember that's that banjo on the back of the IP with the small hole in it too - something to do with maintaining g internal IP pressure. I think that can cause bother when it blocks, but I don't know if those symptoms fit.

Air flow wise... if there was a restriction after the turbo (say a hose has delaminated and partially blocking it, then i guess it could be still running at pressure, but not having the flow.
Its weird because the csw does chug out little puffs of dark black smoke but only intermittenly. Whereas with the boost pin where it is, it should be chugging out great swathes of the stuff. (once this problem is fixed i will have to redo the boost pin setting)
Hmmm which banjo is that.. i will have to have a look. Ive got a spare IP in the workshop (its off a EDC though) maybe i can rob some bits off that if needs be?

The banjo is the one that holds the leak off pipe union. Its not the same as every other banjo bolt - the hole in it is tiny.
But I really don't think it will be this at all. I think you would get very different symptoms. Its just something that people have suggested to me before (never had an issue with it) and its easy enough to check, even if you are wasting your time.
